The show was written by TV columnist [[Charlie Brooker]] of ''[[Screenwipe]]'' fame and is about as satirical as you might expect. He went on to create another drama series called ''[[Black Mirror]]''.
Line 23:
* [[Black Dude Dies First|Black Chick Is First Housemate To Be Bitten]]

* [[Idiot Ball]]: {{spoiler|Joplin}}. Ramming a van through an iron gate and countless zombies, in hope that it will carry you to a safe place? Risky. ''Opening the gate before'' in hopes of getting to the van on time? Absurdly, flat-out unbelievably stupid.
Line 72:
* [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]]: The second episode opens with Veronica puking her guts up after witnessing Kelly smashing a zombie's head open with a fire extinguisher.
* [[While Rome Burns]]: Pippa reads a magazine while Zombie Davina bangs on the door outside. Marky obsesses about what the papers say about him.
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Firmly in the mold of ''[[
* [[Zombie Infectee]]:
